Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Open esophagectomy. Informed consent is provided describing risk and benefits of the procedure. All open procedures are performed by experienced oesophageal and upper GI surgeons. The Duration of the procedure is 120-240 minutes. Patients are surveilled on the intensive care unit postoperatively. Open esophagectomy involves thoracotomy and laparotomy. After esophageal resection, reconstruction and anastomosis is performed using the remnant stomach.
Intervention code [1] 299197 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
Minimal invasive (laparoscopic and thoracosopic) esophagecotmy. Informed consent is provided describing risk and benefits of the procedure. All minimal invasive procedures are performed by experienced oesophageal and upper GI surgeons. The Duration of the procedure is 120-240 minutes. Esophagectomy and Reconstruction are performed with minimal invasive approach such as laparoscopic and thoracoscopic. Patients are surveilled on the intensive care unit postoperatively.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 303477 0
Composite Primary outcome: cytokine Response (IL)-6 and IL-8, the anti-inflammatory IL-1 RA and the chemokines CINC-1 and MCP-1.Blood specimens were collected from intravenous or arterial lines that were routinely in place. Concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1RA, CINC-1 and MCP-1 in the blood and the collected pleural fluid were analyzed using enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assays (ELISA, R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
Timepoint [1] 303477 0
